On July 23, 2026, at about 1201 hours, the men and women of the Bay Minette Police Department responded to a call of, “Shots Fired” near the intersection of South Street and Bay Street. Upon arrival, units discovered a group of young adults in the front yard of 201 Bay Street. There was a very strong and recognizable odor of ma*****na in the air. There were also several empty shell casings visible in the grass. The shell casings appeared to match those that would be fired from a weapon described by independent witnesses. The young adults refused to cooperate or provide consent to gather any evidence and officers immediately secured the property and all those present. A search warrant for the home and yard was obtained and executed. Two assault type rifles, ammunition, drug paraphernalia and ma*****na were seized within the scope of the search, and the following arrests were made: Thomas Travell Golden (19 YOA) – Hindering Prosecution 2nd Degree, Unlawful Possession of Ma*****na 2nd Degree and Unlawful Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Xavier Edwin Nelson (19 YOA) - Unlawful Possession of Ma*****na 2nd Degree and Unlawful Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

Maurice Anbtonio Hobbs (19 YOA) - Unlawful Possession of Ma*****na 2nd Degree, Unlawful Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and active warrants with the Bay Minette PD. The seized weapons and other evidence recovered at the scene will be sent for forensic analysis to link them to other similar crimes in the city. Additional charges may be forthcoming. All persons were transported to the Baldwin County Correctional Facility without incident. No one was injured and no reports of property damage were received.
